Special Report: Israel airstrikes in Gaza

Some military experts say video of the Israeli assault on Gaza may show the use of phosphorus shells over Gaza City.

If true, use of the weapons in a densely populated area would contravene international laws.

Burning phosphorus causes severe and possibly fatal burns when it comes into contact with human skin. Israel has flatly denied using the lethal weapon.

An Israeli military spokeswoman insisted that all ammunition being used is in accordance with international law.

A senior military analyst at Human Rights Watch says the Israeli Defence Forces have confirmed they are using white phosphorus in Gaza to hide troop movements a legal, non-lethal use of the substance.

Israel has a recent history of using phosphorus during conflict including during the 2006 war in Lebanon.

In accordance with international law? So it's ok to attack other people and go to war under International law? They regulate how and what you are to use to attack other countries, or regions? This is insane.

@Alawi1Alawi lol thats 5 years ago. Also that was Hezbollah fighting back once they were invaded. When is Hezbollah going to invade Israel to free the Palestinians? Where was Hezbollah during "Operation Cast Lead". Where was Syria and Iran?

[Alawi1Alawi]

@airpickone were do you think Hezbollah's rockets come from? you know the time Israel tried to invalid and got their asses kicked by Hezbollah in 2006

[airpickone]

@Alawi1Alawi So why hasn't Syria, Hezbollah or Iran done ANYTHING. I haen't heard of any attacks by Iran or Syria upon Israel, I haven't heard of an invasion by their armies? Have you?
